Looks amazing.
I'm sure I'll get voted down because "Halo was a terrible port to PC" or whatever, but as a 360 owner I must say I'm excited.
im totally gonna hate the 30fps cap on this game... pc gaming has spoiled me =[

More like not even ported to pc (halo 3)
Assassinations? Somebody please think of the children!
What the hell are you talking about Halo CE on the PC was so much better than it was on xbox. The online play was free and to this day it's still running!!
Can anyone explain how the 360 games look so good still, while the gpu in the 360 is like a 7800GTx

1. Extreme Coding Optimization
2. Lowered graphics settings
3. No anti-aliasing, other features
4. DX9
5. FPS cap

You forgot bloom and blur. There is usually major use of these to hide low textures or use stuff like depth of field to make it more "realistic" even though it just blurs everything around you. Running only at 720p is also a big boost.

Make that 600p or 576p, many games are upscaled to 720p.
Do you have any idea how small even 720p is on a 17" 1280x1024 monitor? Extremely entry level gamers run resolutions higher than the consoles render natively, and yet the consoles STRETCH the graphics onto 26-70" screens (average is probably 32-42 though) ...and yet they still praise the graphics when a new game comes out.
Graphics look the same as Halo 2...

Ya, once you play on a good pc for a while at 1080p or 1200p native at 60fps it is hard to go back to 576-720p locked at 30fps. Not to mention P2P online just makes me rage in my socks... Online multi player should always have some type of admin in games.
Game looks good... might just revitalize my interest in the halo franchise.
Also, while the 7800GTX is an old GPU, it's still fairly powerful. According to the GPU hierarchy chart, it's around a HD 4670 - which will run just about every game on medium settings at 1280x720.
The real miracle is how they manage to make it look so good with so little of a frame buffer - 512MB ram is shared between the CPU and GPU.

I agree with you there. I really like the PS3 though for offering free online play and keyboard support in some games for a good price while not making me want to tear my eyes out like most Quake 3-based games nowadays.

Well the kids gotta learn to do is someway, and I'd rather they learn in their own home then in the streets, assassinations are nothing to take lightly!

Ya, but the RSX is a crippled 7800GTX 512 but then with only a 256mb buffer. On the hierarchy charts, the 7800GTX is actually just one tier below the 4650 DDR3, which is a bit slower than than the 4670 (I think it's 625 core vs 750?) I'm guessing that the RSX is about as powerful as a 4650 DDR2 and the Xenos gpu is about as powerful as the 4670 or 4650 DDR2. One thing that I am curios about though is this: How did ATI squeeze SO MUCH performance out of Xenos' 48 shaders?
I might have been more interested if they would make Halo 3 and OSTD (or whatever the hell its called) for the PC as well. Hmm, does Halo 2 work on Windows 7 or is it still only for Vista?
This is SO awesome!
Because this is a Microsoft product, that means us Windows7 users will get to play these awesome games since MS created the "Games for Windows" brand and want people to experience DX11.
I JUST CAN'T WAIT for these to come out so we can use these on our quad-core CPUs with 2009~2010 graphics cards!
Oh yeah. I forgot.
Microsoft doesn't support games for Windows.
So remember... when there are no cool 3D games left to buy for your PC, buy a Playstation 4.
Anyone else think they are just a class system away there on multiplayer till it becomes Tribes.

Well it definitely doesn't seem original lol. It's like they took every other game they could think of and scrambled to add aspects of all of them."HMMm, what have we not done... JETPACKS!111 (tribes), ROLLING!! (too many to list), and ASSASSINATION KILLS!!!! (lol AvP Trophey kills?)
It seems like the only Halo that even had a ounce of originality was the first
Graphics look the same as Halo 2...
get your eyes looked at. they are either bad, or you are a ps3 fanboy with your sony dildo placed firmly up your ass
WoW! This game has everything...except mouse and keyboard support!
Watching this I was stongly reminded of UT2004's Onslaught mode of play.
Glad to see they're catching up.
argh.
i look at ut3. then i look at screenshots for this.
high quality my ass. there is no way they should be paying the people doing their graphics and textures. i wonder how long they will hold progression back. by now we should all have computers that can play crisis with 200 fps.. but no... companies wont make better cards because people buy consoles. i dont care if anyone owns a console but goddamn the nintendo has it right. consoles should be for casuals.
This looks freaking awesome. I see many minor and major differences, with weapons and graphics alike. Time to save for this and buy more XBL time! Because ODST was not worth my money.
